The game isn't available on Steam, so you'll need to take a slightly different route before you can start building your legacy on Avesta. Thankfully, getting access is still pretty simple once you know where to go. If you're ready to create your first Seedling and jump into the simulation, here's everything you need to know about downloading and playing Seed, from purchasing access to installing the launcher and getting into the game. How To Download And Play If you are looking to jump into Seed, you will first need to sign up and purchase access through the game's official website. Since the game is currently in Early Access, there is no free download available. Instead, you must buy one of the available access packs. To download and play Seed, visit the official Early Access page and purchase the package that best fits your needs. The most affordable option is the Starter Pack for $29.99, which includes a Cultivator License, one Platinum Slot, one Seedling Life, and access to Cultivator Rewards that unlock additional progression items as you level up. If you want additional content from the start, the Pioneer Pack costs $59.99 and includes everything from the Starter Pack along with a second Platinum Slot, an extra Seedling Life, 35 Pollen (the game's premium currency), and two limited-edition Bomber Jackets for your Seedlings. If you're planning to start a society with friends, you can also choose the Buy 3, Get 4 bundle, which provides four Starter Packs for the price of three. After completing your purchase, you will automatically be redirected to seed.game/play. From there, download the launcher for either Windows or macOS, install it on your computer, and launch the application. Once the installation is complete, click Play Now to log into your account and begin your adventure on Avesta. At launch, Seed is available through its dedicated launcher on PC and Mac. A Mobile Companion App is also available, but the main game client must be downloaded through the official launcher after purchasing an Early Access pack.
